So, if the "wire" was going to his EAR, why would there be an
invisible wire going to an invisible earpiece, and a cable the size of
a pencil running outside his shirt under his tie???

Because whoever set him up is as intelligent as he is?

And if it did NOT go to his ear, how did he hear the output of
whatever was hooked to that monster cable, without it being picked up
by the sensitive microphones on the podium?

Who says he had nothing in either ear?
